At the age of around ten, Taro began to frequent the Cyberia nightclub; it is assumed that it is here he met his girlfriend [[Myu-myu]] and best friend [[Masayuki]]. He met [[Iwakura Lain]] upon her asking him about the [[Psyche processor]], but knew her previously in the [[The Wired|Wired]]; he asks her out, and subsequently dates her. In her room, Lain uses [[Track 44|psychological warfare]] to extract the fact that he is in contact with the [[Knights of the Eastern Calculus|Knights]]. After the [[Reset]], Taro is seen playing with Masayuki, Myu-myu, the Cyberia suicide and a female victim of PHANTOMa; he does not recognize Lain.

Pre-Reset Taro shows some signs of obsession with Lain, having watched her "always" in the Wired, and calling her an "angel" when breaking the news of their date to Masayuki and Myu-myu.
